Hey Fainz,

I played your game.  I recorded it and my thoughts:

Hey Jbarrios,
thanks for the feedback! Video is great to see how you approach the game, good commentary too.

I agree the fights should be longer. For a start the enemies could be beefed up a bit so they don't explode so easily.
That one encounter ending without any fighting was definitely a bug, I'll look into it.
